The Greg McGarity management style, in one quote:
“The reason we had so many noon games then is because we weren’t good,” said McGarity, now CEO of Gator Bowl Sports in Jacksonville. “We didn’t play well enough to deserve primetime. And there was nothing I could do. You can complain about it and certainly advocate for it, but the networks control everything. They’re going to pick whoever they want to play whenever they want.”
No doubt he felt similarly when the SEC informed him about changing Auburn’s scheduling with Georgia. Twice.

My favorite about that was the news dropped late Thursday, then Friday he had a statement that basically said, “yeah we heard, thanks. We’ll get to it on Monday. Have a great weekend!”

Are we really going to sit here and act like the Gurley situation was all on McGarity? Richt threw him under the bus, too. You’re talking about the guy who actively discouraged the bag men, when literally everyone else was all systems go, and all we had to do was circle the wagons and plead the fifth. I’m not defending McGarity’s actions at all, but this probably isn’t the particular cross we need to try to nail him to.

Once again, poor Greg was just an innocent bystander. And he is full of shit, as usual – there were some good to near great teams at UGA during his tenure. McGarity thought that his only job was to prostrate himself to a toothless NCAA by throwing great players under the bus so that he could be home by 6 pm with his pipe and slippers, all the while patting himself on the back for the great moral stand he had taken.

“We weren’t good” is 100% Grade-A BS! We may not have been “great”, but the only time we possibly “weren’t good” while Greg was AD was maybe 2009 after we’d lost Stafford, and 2016 turning the battleship around….
We play a lot of noon games because of cupcakes, crappy annual opponents like Vandy, Kentucky/SCar and Missouri, and Trek. That is almost half the schedule you can pencil in as nooners (if we get lucky, maybe 1 or 2 get moved to night) before the season even begins. And – as we all know – Greg never had anything to do with schedules folks…. What BS!

Agreed, keeping it to McGarity’s years with Richt (2010 – 15), we averaged about 9 1/2 wins a year, with four of those six years being 10 win or more seasons. Not elite, but not bad. “We weren’t good” seems like an insult to Richt.

When Coach Richt won that second SEC Champ. he should have gone into the AD’s office and demanded that money be spent on the football team and if McGarity did not go alone with this demand Coach Richt should have quite on the spot. Coach Richt was the hottest coach in college football at that time and could have gone anywhere. McGarity would have to give him almost anything he wanted. If he (McGarity) could have gotten it through the thick heads of the AA Association that Mark meant business. The ass holes in the AA that ran the reserve fund might have balked and we would have lost a great coach.

Greg McGarity had zero to do with that. He was the one who refused to build the IPF. He was the one who suspended AJ Green after it was apparent he hadn’t been in South Florida. He was the one who suspended Todd Gurley for doing something others were doing and telling the NCAA to go to hell. He was the one who let our facilities across multiple sports go to hell. He was the one who hired all of those awful coaches who took great programs and ran them into the ground. He is the one who hired Tom Crean to make our basketball program beyond horrible. He was the one who would go blabbing to Mark Bradley to protect himself.
Finally, he was the one who wanted to hire Dopey/Goofy Dan MuLLLLet instead of Kirby Smart.

That Son of a Bitch ran the athletic program for every season beginning in 2010 through 2020. That means he was in charge for the season in which “we weren’t very good” and he did nothing to make us “very good,” except in 2015 when he said “Yes sir ” to a group of boosters who told him they would lead a movement to fire his ass unless he replaced Richt with Smart and gave Smart all the resources Smart said he needed.
In other words, the “not very good ” seasons were his responsibility. f7
